Hussein Alazaat, Jordan. b. 1981
As a kid, Hussein loved writing, and this passion only evolved as he grew. At the age of 10, he began to discover an enjoyment of his personal handwriting; at the same time he started to develop an individual Cubic Kufi style using graph paper.
Since then, Hussein has explored many artistic schools in calligraphy and typography - from the most classical and traditional methods to the top contemporary and experimental forms.
He believes that the originality of Arabic calligraphy is a key feature of Arabic-Islamic culture, and always aims to reflect this in his modern approach to the art. To widen awareness, he started a series of successful Arabic Calligraphy workshops in Amman, designed for beginners and non-Arab residents. The amazing feedback and enthusiastic interaction with these workshops is a tribute to their success.
In other media, Hussein has participated in many art projects with Blouzaat, an urban art T-Shirt company. He has also created numerous illustrations and calligraphy works for local and international clients, publications, and art collectors.
Hussein studied Graphic Design at the Amman Graphic Arts School, graduating in 1999. He joined the London Art College in 2009, to earn an academic Diploma in Graphic Design.
